code:
proc play2
    var playAgain : string (1)          % gets 'y' or 'n'
    locate (maxrow - 3, 1)
    PutCenter ("Play Again? (Y/N)")

    View.Update

loop
        getch (playAgain)
        exit when (playAgain = "Y" or playAgain = "y") or (playAgain = "N" or playAgain = "n")
        BlinkMessage (maxrow - 2, 2, "Must be 'Y' or 'N'", yellow)
   

    View.Update

    if playAgain = "Y" or playAgain = "y" then
        var input : string (1)              % User's guess
        % var puzzle : string := ""               % Phrase to guess
        var unString, unDisplay : string := "" % Phrase with underlines, To display

        var bodyCount : int := 0       % # of errors

        var lettersUsed : string := "" % contains all letters entered
        var choiceDisplay : string := "" % Centerable string or letters avail.


    end if
    View.Update
end loop

    cls
    locate (4, 1)
    PutCenter ("Thanks for playing!")

Turing:
exit when (playAgain = "Y" or playAgain = "y") or (playAgain = "N" or playAgain = "n")

why?

shouldn't it be

Turing:
exit when (playAgain = "N" or playAgain = "n")

it will still get y or Y... it just won't use it. that exit when statement causes the game to end even if they say they want to play again.

as for the resetting of variables:

Turing:

var myString : string := "hello!"
myString := "" %it no longer has a value!
var myInt : int := 5
myInt := -1 %ints are a bit trickier. just set it to a value that will never happen unless you have reset it, or to its default value.
var myReal : real := 5.5
myReal := -1 %same as an int. just set it to a value that should never happen OR to the default value you gave it the first time.

etc etc etc.

just set it to either the original value, or a value that will never happen unless you reset it.
